I Think Education Is The Foundation Of Sports
Escaping or chasing the enemy also required running. They had to run fast so as not to waste time to deliver urgent news, good or bad, to the neighboring tribe.
Isn't almost all of our games in our own childhood about running?!. Handkerchief snatch, hooded hide-and-seek, steel-rod, blindfold and many of our games that have sunk into oblivion were perhaps the first sports steps for us.
When we look at its real meaning, sports also includes bodily movements, various games, and the social associations that these games gradually turn into competitions and matches.
The world of sports is a multifaceted and diverse phenomenon. Without thinking much, demonstration sports, mass sports, summer or winter sports, personal sports, wellness sports, sports for the disabled can be counted as the first prominent main groups.
Sport is part of the real world of our emotions. An athlete realizes himself within certain rules while running, jumping and throwing the shot put. If the competition, the fight in football or boxing leads to illegal scuffles and dramatic images such as fight-fight, the meaning and purpose of the sport will be violated. In such encounters, it is difficult to talk about "Additional Value" beyond financial gain. Such behaviors and images can destroy the visual appeal of those sports branches and negatively and greatly affect the viewing pleasure.
When the spectators and competitors are unhappy, the sport loses its aesthetic beauty, it does not give pleasure to watch, it creates stress and tension. In all these developments, the cultural level and education of the society to which the participants and spectators belong prevents sports from shifting to the negative.
Individual and group sports such as football, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, motocross, sailing races can be counted as "Award Winning" sports. Athletics and swimming involve a wide variety of colorful performances in themselves. There are social and economic regulations and basic principles that will govern all these wide-ranging activities. This is where education and culture come into play, especially in this regard. Education and culture advance sports, develop it, add quality and make it a universal value.
Sport trains a person's psychology and behavior patterns as well as his body, and he files his ego. Sports, for example the Olympics, is the only environment where all the states of the world can come together. From this togetherness comes unity, peace, tranquility and happiness. If managed well!
Today I can repeat again that education is the starting point, cornerstone and indispensable element of sports. As education is important for sports, sports are as important for education. However, education is the key that carries people, society and civilization up in steps. An educated person's view of sports is ethical, tolerant, helpful, understanding, able to accept defeat, and not proud of victory. For this reason, training is essential for sports to be performed at a high level, and technique raises the bar of performance and quality.
Sport is a lifestyle. It is a source of mobility, joy and happiness that directly affects human health, prevents and even cures many diseases. Today, WALKING, which is the most widely accepted and recommended method in the world, is the first sportive method that is good for the human body and soul. It's like the secret to longevity. Sport, whether individually or collectively, enables the person to be elevated in features such as strength, patience, speed, endurance and mastery.
Sport basically serves us and our way of life. We shape the sport first. Its existence comes to life with the absolute dominance of man. The human being is trying to put his personality and relationships on a harmonious and solid foundation at every stage of life. It tends to coexist and thus becomes society.
For the future of the sports world and youth, I would like to underline that first of all, we must adopt approaches that prevent intolerance, educate the athlete, and are open to innovation. Only in this way can we make progress in preventing violence and racism in sports.
Education in sports has a personal and social dimension. Athlete training, trainer training, referee and manager training and even spectator training are in question. These trainings are an indispensable way to increase the technical, aesthetic and performance level of sports. Education and sports cooperation can change people's behavior in a positive way. According to scientists, it can give them the ability to appreciate beauty, act naturally, establish healthy relationships, accept others as they are, be alone when necessary, and enjoy it.
A person recognizes his own abilities by doing sports, learns to appreciate others by accepting defeat, to show humility when he wins, to use time in the best way when competing with nature and his opponent. When we truly and fully embrace the principles of honesty, fairness and tolerance, it is not difficult for us to rise personally and socially in every branch of sports. In order for us to have a say in this field, our aim should be to accept and implement the cooperation between education and sports at a mobilization level.
Beyond social and personal development, the economic power, social power and media power of sports cannot be ignored. And sports will take the most important role in the revival of the concepts of "FRIENDLY, PEACE, BROTHERHOOD", which is sorely missed in today's world. If we use our minds!..
